  • 4th Annual Walk for Autism to kick off with comedy event Saturday
    • Volunteers will kick of their fundraising efforts for the 4th Annual Walk for Autism this Saturday, and helping could be as easy as getting a good laugh.

      On Saturday comedians will take the stage at Cuesta College for a night of laughs, called "Stand Up for Autism."

      The price of each ticket will go to the Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center, and the center hopes the show also encourages people to put on their walking shoes for the fundraiser in April.

      Last year, hundreds helped make the event the center's biggest fundraiser of the year. Even actor and Arroyo Grande native Zac Efron pounded the pavement.

      "Stand Up for Autism" tickets are $20 and include free parking at the Cuesta Performing Arts Center at Cuesta College. The event starts at 7:00p.m. In addition to a night of laughter, attendees will also be able to participate in a raffle, a 50/50 raffle and a silent auction, all benefitting the Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center. All of the money stays local, and goes toward resources and services for people with autism. You can click here for more information.

    • Grover Beach man faces attempted murder charge in connection to December shooting

      A Grover Beach man is facing an attempted murder charge after a shooting at a local motel last month that police are now calling a drug deal gone wrong.

      James Heinrichs, 49, was arrested last Saturday, but the incident stems back to December 13 in Pismo Beach. At that time, police responded to the Motel 6 on reports of a shooting. But when officers arrived, they did not find any evidence of the reported shooting.

      During the course of their investigation, police say they were led to Los Angeles where the victim's vehicle was found with a bullet hole in the windshield. Police say they served a search warrant and two arrest warrants to catch the suspect.

      Police also say they were able to recover the weapon they believe was used in the December shooting.

  • Artist plans to bury 727 jetliner in Calif. desert
    • BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) - A Swiss artist plans to bury an intact Boeing 727 jetliner in California's Mojave Desert and build a tourist tunnel to give visitors a chance to view the underground project.

      Christoph Buchel has applied for a Kern County conditional-use permit that will allow him to bury the 153-foot-long decommissioned airliner west of Boron. It's not far from the desert's aircraft boneyard.

      The Bakersfield Californian (http://bit.ly/yMACE6 ) reports the project, dubbed "Terminal," already has planning department staff approval.

      The jetliner would be buried 38 feet below the surface.

      Visitors will be able to experience the subterranean art project via an underground tunnel connecting the plane to a parking area. They'll be able to use the plane's restrooms, which will be connected to a septic system.

    • A renter gave written notice that he would vacate, then changed his mind. What are the landlord's rights?

      Question: I own a four-plex in an area where rental rates have recently begun to increase. I had not raised the rents on my property in several years, so I recently gave a 30-day notice of an 8% increase to my tenants. One told me he could not afford the increase and gave me a written 30-day notice that he was vacating. About a week later he told me he changed his mind and decided to stay and accept the increase.
